Still recovering from the Christmas new year celebrations.
How wonderful to have large portions of family and friends
around but after a week it is a relief to be alone again/ Jan, bless her,
has already re exhausted herself, undoing all the decorations she spent many hours putting up just a few days ago.
We spent many happy hours playing Boggle on the computer. As many as 10 at a time gathered about, shouting out words they were able to spot on the screen. The typist had to be quick to get them all down. It is unbelievable how quickly the kids can type, faster I think than one can talk. Poker and Wii and jigsaw puzzles kept us busy. We ate out frequently. Never a dull moment.
On another subject: I am objecting once again on English language usage.
Will everyone quit saying "very unique" and "more unique". Am I the only one left in the world who knows that unique means one of a kind? One could correctly say
"almost unique" or better yet rare, or unusual.

I was hoping that you would practice your picture insering skills and provide us with a very unique picture of 10 of us playing Boggle...
You did this to me, Granddad! I literally cringe whenever anyone says "very unique." I remember you telling me this was a "redundant adjective" years ago, and it has really stuck with me.
I recently sat through a series of presentations by design students where 5/6 people used the term "very unique." The 6th person who didn't: that was me.
Anyhow, I miss you already, and am putting your Christmas package (which arrived late) in the mail today.
p.s. Your blog is just fine. I'm just long-winded. Don't you dare stop writing!
for some reason my comment posted 4 times!
sorry to get your hopes up for a groundswell of comments.
